What I put in bold in Igzy's quote above is the pearl I refer to, which includes for me this "newer concept" on ministering to God. After 8 months in the Philippines, I arrived home to a letter written to me in August. The brother said that
"God is just like us. He needs to eat and be satisfied. just like we do. That is one reason why he made us. We're like the widow of Zarephath. Even when we have only a little flour which is Christ's humanity in us, and a little oil in a jar (our soul) we can make a little cake for God before we start to do the rest."
